SM58 connected to pc

Hi I currently own an SM58 microphone together with a few different amps and a lot of cables. I was thinking I wanted to record a couple of songs. So I'm wondering what is the easiest way to hook the SM58 directly up to my computer?
I have a few simple programs that can process the sound, but I need a simple way for the SM58 to connect to my pc so I can record stuff.

Explanation of recording in stereo channels vs mono?

Hi,
Can someone explain exactly what happens if recording two mics as "Stereo" on the mixer, compared to two mics defined as mono, using the pan function etc.? In other words, when people describe XY, etc., I assume they are saying to define both mics as mono right? What does the mixer add then when defining as stereo, in same XY?

I want good vocal recordings.

My UX1 has two Analogue outs L/R and I do have a JACK to RCA cable that can be used if needbe. Yes it is a dual cable with separate Left and Right cables.

Speaker Cab Burning Smell

Lately when I turn my amp up to or past the point of speaker distortion the cab begins to smell like it is burning. Not like something left in the oven for too long, but it certainly is a smell that you aren't expecting to come from your cab. It is reminiscent to a doctor's office smell, like that sterile smell mixed with rubber.
